It’s a Festivus Miracle! (And Giveaway!!!)

Well, there I go again, really “connecting” with my younger readers by making a Seinfeld reference. Do young adults even know what Festivus is? Come on, the airing of grievances, the feats of strength, the Festivus pole? Really, nothing???

Oh well, I do have some great news. Look what I got on Tuesday (and, no, not for Festivus)…

Yes, you saw right, it’s my very first, shiny new ARC of THE LAST ECHO!!!

And because it’s the season for warm and fuzzy...and you know, giving...I’m thinking that means: GIVEAWAY!!!!

So here’s the deal: I’m going to give away not one, not two, but THREE of these brand-spanking new (and slightly petted), hot-off-the-presses ARCs just in time for the holidays. You can keep it, gift it, or swap it. It’s totally up to you. But first, you have to win it!

Here’s how...

From now until noon Pacific Time on Sunday, December 18th, you can earn points by:

2 points – Being or becoming a follower of the blog (this one, right here!)2 points – For adding The Last Echo to your Goodreads "to-read" shelf2 points – For being or becoming a follower on Goodreads (different from adding the book, mind you)2 points – For being or becoming a Twitter follower (c’mon, all the cool kids are doing it!!!)1 point – For Tweeting/Re-tweeting the contest (there’s a 1-point max here, so don’t send me your 20 points for tweeting ;)1 point for telling me (in the comments) your favorite Body Finder moment (from any of the books...Enthralled included)1 point for telling me (in the comments also) what you want for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Festivus!

If you play your cards right, that’s a total of 11 (pretty darn easy!) points you can earn, folks! But remember, I need you to tally those points in your comment* for me and leave your email address so I know how to reach you if/when you win!!!

*I know this cross-posts all over the place, but leave your comment on the original Blogger post at www.kimberlyderting.blogspot.com (not on Goodreads, not on LiveJournal, not on Tumblr...you get the idea!)

Omg omg omg! Thank you so so so so much for having a contest :D I am dying to read this book. <3 The ARC looks so pretty :) See, I loved the Body Finder books. And The Pledge. And I am so excited about this :D

There are so many. But yeah, I really liked the moment where Jay and Violet are in bed together (A) <3+1 I want lots and lots of books for Christmas :D Although, right now I really want snow :p Hih :)

+1 My favorite moments... I really enjoyed in The Body Finder when it was so obvious to us how Jay felt about Violet but she didn't see it. And then when they finally came together! Loved it!

+1 What do I want for Christmas? Well, I would love a money tree right about now, since everything around my house seems to b breaking all at once. LOL But since that is an impossibility, I would settle for some B&N giftcards so I can pick out some new books. :)

Total points: 11

Thanks for the giveaway and happy holidays! sarabara081(at)aol(dot)com

So I don't have a specific favorite moment, but I love the overall creepiness of The Body Finder series. Dead bodies, stalkers, serial killers - these books have it all. Can't wait to read The Last Echo!

For Christmas I want books, of course! I have a list a mile long, & I haven't read the Pledge yet so that was on there :)

I thought it was one of the sweetest momenets ever and the moment I fell in love with Jay. +1: All I want for Christmas are books. I have a huge list of all the books I have been dying to read so I would even be happy with just one of the books from my list.

EEK!! I am SO excited for The Last Echo, this is one of my favorite series ever. :))) Thanks so much for the opportunity to win an ARC, I would be petting them too. :)

(Although I LOVE Jay too:)+1 I want some pink leg warmers that I just found on Etsy for Christmas. :D

My favorite Body Finder moment is really any alone moment with Violet and Jay! And for Christmas, I want a lifetime supply of Amazon and/or Barnes & Noble gift cards so I'd never have to worry about how much money I'm spending on books and to avoid money lectures with my father. I cannot wait for the Last Echo, and they look so beautiful!! :) Thanks for having the giveaway!

I'm not too picky, but I did make a list of books/TV on DVD that I want. I really want S2 of Vampire Diaries, and I'm pretty sure my Mom ordered it for me, which is awesome.

I am seriously dying to read this book lady!!! Thanks so much for the chance!!!Fave Body Finder Moment: When Jay is telling Vi that he was hoping she's figure out he wanted her, and hoping she wanted him as much as he wanted her. Really, any Jay/Vi moments! I love their relationship!Christmas time: What I want for Christmas? Besides an iPad? Well, Last Echo of course! :-)

+1 Telling my favourite TBF moment

Vi & Jay’s first kiss!! I know it’s lame to pick such an obvious moment, but I was so excited to see them getting closer and to see that it finally happened. And I like that one scene when Jay says, he was just waiting for them to get together and that he knew it would happen eventually. Love confident (and hot. Jay is definitely hot!!) guys!

+1 Telling what I want for Christmas

This year my biggest wish has been granted already. I spent the past months in Switzerland as a semester abroad and I’m missing my family, friends, dog, (books) like crazy!! In a week I’m going home and it’s the best present to spend xmas with my family. It’s not just a phrase, I totally feel it! It’s pure joy when I think of going home (though Switzerland was awesome:))

I am so excited the second part came out!Thanks so much! Total:11 -Nikki jacksandnumbers@hotmail.com

+1 Favorite Body Finder moment: That's pretty much any moment involving Violet and Jay. I love the scene where Jay talks about them being together was always inevitable and he was just waiting for her Violet to want him as much much as he wanted her. {sigh}

+1 What I want for Christmas: This ARC (of course). Something more likely and unlikely at the same time is a DSLR camera, but already know that's not going to happen. I can dream though :-)

First of all, I knew exactly what Festivus was - course I am a bit older than a teenager. lol My favorite part is when Violet is running in the park and she "feels" an echo. She can't see them, but she can feel them. It was so creepy and yet so fascinating! And who would not love a SIGNED COPY of the last book in this series for xmas??

Oh, and to find the time to read them all. :)

11 points yea I finally did all of them =} I'm so excited for this contest.. My favorite chapter is # 18 in the desire of the dead where they finally connect as a true couple.... For Christmas I just want to finish all my shopping in time.

I can't find the blog follower button, but you know I stalk you anyways, so we can just count that. ;) I've had The Last Echo on my GR shelf forever, I also follow you on goodreads and twitter. No tweet though. Kim, I can't choose just ONE moment in the books as my favorite I LOVE THE WHOLE THING!!! But I do so love the chapters from the killer's point of view, <3 And what do I want for Christmas...well, an ARC of the Last Echo would be perfect, you know how much I love your books. But something one can BUY, umm...can I buy you at the store, or maybe Abby? Cause I think we wouuld get along GREAT, she's really a cool kid! (I'm not creepy!) Okay, seriously though, I want a pug, cause as you know super pug died over the summer, and we're all very sad, and we need another one. You remember super pug, right? Your biggest fan? Well, his real name was Blakely, but my younger brother called him Super Pug. If you wanted to pitch in for one we wouldn't mind, he could be the Body Finder mascot! And how many books have mascots, like, NONE, so your book would be EXTRA special! Oh, and just in case you don't want to read that whole crazy post that's 10 points for me!

Oh Wow! How exciting! Thank you Kimberly for doing this contest! That is so kind of you! So excited to see what happens next to Violet and Jay.

right, the counting-up:

+2 for following the blog (Pewter Wolf)+2 for having Last Echo on my To Read Goodreads list+2 for being a follower on Goodreads (http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4515370-andrew)+1 for tweeting the contest (https://twitter.com/#!/PewterWolf13/status/147818518216323073)+1 for fave scene. Now, I must be weird as the first scene that popped into my head was a scary scene where, in Body Finder, the serial killer follows then abducts a girl and we all thought it was Violet (she stormed away from the party). I have no idea why I love that scene. I think it's because it was one of those "heart in your mouth" moments and I love those moments...+1 for Christmas. A DVD of a stand-up comedian, Sarah Millican. That's all, really. I am useless for gifts!

So, that's 11. Thank you again for the contest. Merry Christmas everyone!

Favorite Body Finder moment is in the fist book, after the party when Violet ang Jay start talking to eash other again :)

A few years ago (I think its been 7-8 years) me and my friends started a tradition to meet and have our own christmas one or two days before the "real" christmas. This year it seems hat its going to be hard to find that time so what I mostly want for thic christmas is to find that time and have our chrismas. (I know its not like "peace on earth" or "stop world hunger" but its what I want, to meet my 'family' all of us togheter for the first time in a long time)
